No one was more excited about their gift than Smith. He has a player option for next year, and it sounds as if James’ giving spirit could play a part in his decision-making process.

Brendan Haywood also issued a comment on James’ kindness by offering a unique compliment.
“Look, LeBron is probably the greatest player in the world who gives out gifts like it’s candy,” he said. “We look forward to it every single time.”
